51 Governors Resist Shifting Authority Over Guard - Bush* the Uniter!
Edited on Mon Aug-14-06 09:05 PM by spanone
He finally united someone!!!!!

Bush* consulted NO Governors, he tucked it in a military authorization bill.

~snip~ LOS ANGELES, Aug. 14 — In an unusual act of bipartisan and regional unanimity, 51 governors have joined to voice their strong opposition to legislation to let the president federalize National Guard troops in a disaster without local authorities’ consent.

1. Boys and girls, can you say "Posse Comitatus"?
Very good! I knew you could!

Now, let's all march down to the White House and teach it to the pResident.

3. Holy guacamole!
He is a uniter after all! I guess it can only get so divided that it's united.

4. And as always his corrupt sneaky anti constitutional bullshit is
hidden in another bill.

That in itself is enough to show what a damn worthless scum sneaky bastard he is. But I still don't for one minute think he's the man pulling the strings. Cheney, Rummy, and Rove are probably scared to death about the low poll ratings and the possibility that they may just lose control.
